For many companies, Social Media promotion has become a central component of brand strategy as a valuable low-cost brand communication platform with the potential to reach billions of people.

Corsearch’s Social Media Name Search provides analysis of 40 of the world’s most popular social media sites to complement the traditional trademark clearance research process, and provides the ability to check the landscape of user/vanity names on social media.

By identifying names taken in Social Media, brand owners can determine if a proposed mark is already in use in the social media sphere, and in what context it is being used. This may have implications for the clearance process and / or may limit Social Media promotional activities for the proposed brand.

The Social Media Name Search can be ordered as a stand-alone search or as an add-on section to eligible searches.
